LETTER: Maxine Waters’ irresponsible comments

Updated April 22, 2021 - 9:12 pm

As the Derek Chauvin verdict neared, Rep. Maxine Waters publicly encouraged mobs to go out and get more confrontational with police. The judge presiding over the Chauvin trial called her words “abhorrent.” The Democrats in Washington repeatedly called on former President Donald Trump to be prosecuted for his words immediately prior to the Jan. 6 riot. Yet Maxine Waters’ language was far worse. When (not if) someone loses his or her life following the verdict, Democrats will be silent on the disgusting words so proudly put forth by Rep. Waters.

She is well known for her verbal vomit. And the pass she regularly gets from her own party is never-ending.

THE LATEST
LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
